Answer:

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j)

Magnitude of R = 9.09 m

Explanation:

Let î and j represent unit vectors along the x and y axis respectively.

Vector A --> magnitude 8.78 m, direction 37.0° from the +x-axis

Let the x and y components of this vector be Aₓ and Aᵧ

A = (Aₓî + Aᵧj) m

The components given magnitude and direction from the +x-axis are calculated as

Aₓ = A cos θ and Aᵧ = A sin θ

Aₓ = (8.78 cos 37°) = 7.01 m

Aᵧ = (8.78 sin 37°) = 5.28 m

A = (7.01î + 5.28j) m

Vector B has magnitude 8.26 m and direction 135° from the +x-axis

B = (Bₓî + Bᵧj) m

Bₓ = (8.26 cos 135°) = - 5.84 m

Bᵧ = (8.26 sin 135°) = 5.84 m

B = (-5.84î + 5.84j) m

Vector C has magnitude 5.65 m and direction 210° from the +x-axis

C = (Cₓî + Cᵧj) m

Cₓ = (5.65 cos 210°) = - 4.89 m

Cᵧ = (5.65 sin 210°) = - 2.83 m

C = (- 4.89î - 2.83j) m

The resultant force is a vector sum of all the forces. Let the resultant force be R

R = (Rₓî + Rᵧj) m

R = A + B + C = (7.01î + 5.28j) + (-5.84î + 5.84j) + (- 4.89î - 2.83j)

Summing the î and j components seperately,

R = (- 3.72î + 8.29j) m

To get its magnitude,

Magnitude of R = √(Rₓ² + Rᵧ²) = √((-3.72)² + (8.29)²) = 9.09 m

A mass of 0.56 kg is attached to a spring and set into oscillation on a horizontal frictionless surface. The simple harmonic mot
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 0.42 m

(b) 20.16 N/m

(c) - 0.42 m

(d) - 0.21 m

(e) 17.3 s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass, m = 0.56 kg

x(t) = (0.42 m)cos[cos(6 rad/s)t]

Now,

The general eqn is:

x(t) = Acos\omega t

where

A = Amplitude

\omega = angular frequency

t = time

Now, on comparing the given eqn with the general eqn:

(a) The amplitude of oscillation:

A = 0.42 m

(b) Spring constant k is given by:

\omega = \sqrt{k}{m}

\omega^{2} = \frac{k}{m}

Thus

k = m\omega^{2} = 0.56\times 6^{2} = 20.16\ N/m

(c) Position after one half period:

x(t) = 0.42cos\pi = - 0.42\ m

(d) After one third of the period:

x(t) = 0.42cos(\frac{2\pi}{3}) = - 0.21\ m

(e) Time taken to get at x = - 0.10 m:

-0.10 = 0.42cos6t

6t = co^{- 1} \frac{- 0.10}{0.42}

t = 17.3 s

The law of repulsion by Coulomb agrees with: Newton's law of universal gravitation Newton's laws of motion the findings of Gilbe
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Explanation:

The law of repulsion is given by Coulomb. The mathematical form of Coulomb law is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}...............(1)

Where

F is the force

k is the electrostatic constant

q_1\ and\ q_2 are electric charges

r is the distance between charges

The Newton's law of universal gravitation is given by :

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}..............(2)

G is the universal gravitational constant

From equation (1) and (2) it is clear that both law obeys inverse square law and both are of same type. So, the law of repulsion by Coulomb agrees with the Newton's law of universal gravitation.
